    Monkey Business
    Austin P.

    Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great time! It's one of those restaurants you would think is overpriced and underwhelming but I didn't feel that way at all. The ambiance is perfect, especially for date nights. Modern and classy feeling, perfect for the South Tampa vibe. Everything I had was delicious especially the Steak Frittes, although I do think the steak could have been a tad larger. The fries were crispy though and I loved dipping them in my burrata appetizer. Brussel Sprouts were 10/10 and went well with the spicy margarita! For sure worth a visit, highly recommend.

    Food and drinks were great. Service was okay. Only 3 stars because I'm incredibly allergic to dogs and the restaurant let a large non-service dog sit indoors at the table next to us against FL and Hillsborough County law.

    We had a reservation, but arrived 30 minutes early and were still able to sit. Our server quickly brought us water and took our order. Friends warned me it would be very loud, which it was, but knowing this ahead of time helped. Brunch was so nice and the decor is so stylish. My boyfriend joked that the customers were all women, so it's definitely a great place to go with your girls.

    Short rib hash

    Made a reservation for midday on a Sunday. My boyfriend and I shared the kale salad, which was amazing, and the short rib hash. Great brunch spot!

    Mussels

    Loved this place! Service was great. Loved the decor and ambiance. The food was amazing. Loved the mussels. Will be back

    Hummus platter
    Emi R.

    I mean I don't even know where to start. I love this place to much I was visiting from California and I came here twice all my friends I brought enjoyed everything. My favorite was the hummus platter however they do change their menu often for the seasons but the capper berries was such a nice touch. The burger was juicy and delicious. The salmon was ok but still yummy and had good flavor pallet that was unique and not basic. The service was ok nothing special but we were attended to not left behind. The ambience is somewhat classy but we don't come dressed in anything special and felt comfortable.

    brunch menu
    Anna P.

    Very nice elevated brunch dining experience in Hyde Park. I was slightly disappointed to hear they have no alternative dairy options for coffee or other creamy drinks. I ordered the acai bowl as my main dish and it was very good. It also has a great presentation. The server let me know there were alterations and accommodations that could be made to make a dish vegan, but I just opted for the acai bowl because I didn't want to be a hassle.

    Thyme after thyme: gin, Asian pear, honey, thyme and rosemary, Madagascar vanilla, lemon. Omg, soo good!!

    Another stellar nite of eats at On Swann. We came here to celebrate my dear friends birthday. Our server Priscilla helped guide us through the menu with her recommendations. She was awesome, loved her energy. Side note: their menu changes according to the seasons. We had the opportunity to try the Fall menu. My faves were Zeppole with the amazing dipping sauces, Kale Salad, Lamb meatballs with the melt in mouth grits, Arancini balls (wow) and of course the dessert board ( we went for Bread pudding,decadent chocolate cake and cobbler). My friend raved about the chicken but it was too sweet for me. There was nothing "hot" about the chicken. Empanadas were lost on us, was lacking texture. Lastly the hummus, i didn't like this at all. I did not like the braised lamb hummus, something was off. Too acidic. A few hiccups but overall it was a fantastic nite surrounded by friends and amazing food.

    burrata

    We celebrated a few family birthdays at On Swann and we had the most perfect night! The attention to detail was so impressive here. Everything felt very intentional from the custom "Happy Birthday" menus to the amazing customer service. We were treated to complimentary palate cleansers and two warm funfetti cookies for dessert (they were sooo yummy!). I like that the atmosphere is elegant without being over-the-top fancy. We all enjoyed our meals. We started with the burrata for an appetizer, which was fresh and served with thin crackers. I ordered the kale salad and hot chicken, both were very good. It is definitely worth it to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday here!

    My son and I first came here for a "one last great meal before leaving Tampa" and it was certainly a good decision. Love how lively and comfortable the dining room is... white and soft moss colors with plenty of light and busy, yet simple decor. Open ceiling exposing all the overhead pipes (water, fire, AC ducts and lighting) give it that industrial hint but somehow still feels a bit country-ish with their distressed, communal teal tables. We started off with an order of their MUSSELS to share (green curry coconut milk and coriander served with delicious garlic toast). Move over Pepsi, On Swann makes Craft Sodas and we tried a couple of them. I had a WATERMELON soda (think it had ginger beer in it) and my son had a HONEY ORANGE soda. My son loved his BLT SANDWICH... heirloom tomatoes, smoked bacon, frisée, seasoned mayonnaise on challah bread. He said the bread made the sandwich special. I went with the SPICY BUTTERMILK CHICKEN SANDWICH (with celery root slaw, honey butter and dill pickles on a brioche bun). Although I thought it was too big a bun for the chicken size it was still a delicious balance of flavors. Overall, ON SWANN is ON POINT !

    We love coming to On Swann!! We enjoyed a little Saturday night date night at this quaint spot in Hyde Park. We booked a table for 5pm and by the time we left at 7, there wasn't a seat left in the house (including outside seating). We started with a bottle of Pinot from Ken Wright Willamette Valley (US's hidden gem for vineyards). So good. We enjoyed our fav apps--Pimento Cheese and the kale salad. For our entrees we enjoyed the Grouper with rice and vegetables and the scallops with cauliflower puree. Shoutout to all the servers. They work so hard and are always on top of making sure glasses are full. We'll be back soon!!

    Dessert board
    Jazmin R.

    This place was excellent! Would definitely recommend a reservation as we came for a work dinner with 10 people on a Wednesday and the place was packed (we did have a reservation). Restaurant itself is nicely spaced, also have outdoor seating with fire heaters. Bathroom was clean. The food was fantastic. Of course I did not get pictures of everything but I did get pics of my short rib pasta which was very tasty. We also got a dessert board for our bosses birthday and the cookies were warm and yummy. I'd personally skip the chocolate cake as it was very rich but others at our table liked it. Not pictured - all the apps our table got. Empanadas and arancinis were absolutely my fave. Full of flavor!

    Lavash with Pimento Cheese
    Devangi R.

    We had brunch at On Swann recently. We enjoyed our food. We ordered Burger that came with fries and lavash with pimento cheese, drinks were good as well. We could not try a lot of other dishes or any desserts as we were flying out of Tampa, didn't want any leftovers. Some of brunch items looked good - pancakes or french toast. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Its a busy place, so if you really want to try it- make reservations.

I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen.

We started with the Million Dollar Deviled Eggs, topped with crispy oysters, bacon jam and caviar. They were creative and packed with flavor. The caviar came through a little stronger than we would have preferred, but everything worked surprisingly well together. Bill put them around 3.5-4 out of 5, while Deb gave them a 3. The wine was one of the best parts of the meal. I had the Ken Wright Cellars Pinot Noir and loved it--fruity with a peppery edge in a really good way. Easy 4.5/5. Deb went with the Drylands Sauvignon Blanc and gave it a solid 4/5. Both wines paired nicely with the deviled eggs. For lunch, we tried the blackened grouper sandwich. The fish and smoky Old Bay rémoulade were very flavorful, and the sandwich itself earned a 4/5 for taste. The problem was the $34 price tag. It simply felt too small for that price, so we'd put the value closer to a 3. Dessert turned things around again. The mango sorbetto was cold, bright and refreshing, and the accompanying sugar cookies added a surprisingly nice contrast. At $7, it felt like a much better value. 4/5. Overall, Oak & Ola delivered some very good flavors and an excellent wine experience. We'd return, but we'd probably be a little more selective about the higher-priced entrées.

Also the place looks like it's converted from a garage or something with metal walls and roll up doors that made the sound bounce around. The service was nice. We were well taken care of but they seemed to be spread thin because getting refills and getting our check took a bit longer than expected. One ssue was that the menu was very different from what was online via Google. I should have gone to their website I guess, but several items were not available and the filet I was so excited for had a very different set of items. No Brie au gratin potatoes or braised rainbow chard, citrus gremolata and a fig chutney. Now, let me say that my filet was delicious. I loved the sauce and the asparagus was good but for me, the potatoes were super underwhelming. A nice sauce or something would have made them better. They just tasted bland, were really dry and lacked any flavor. My wife expected the lamb or pork chops, they were both not on the menu. She got fish and chips which she really enjoyed, so it was a win. The Asian wings were our appetizer and were delightful too. Now the only real negative for us was the noise. We got there at 5:30 and it was fine. But as more people came in, the sound bounced around so bad that it became almost unbearable for me. I wanted to go so bad because people laughing and talking made my head hurt. Would I go back? Probably not. I didn't enjoy how loud it was. The food was very good though, so perhaps takeout would be more my speed. We had a nice meal and my leftovers were delicious later that evening.

    Nicely decorated, photo worthy spot. The establishment was clean and welcoming. Parking was easy,…read morethere's a lot behind the building. We tried the espresso martini flight and ehhh photo worthy but it was just okay. No option to customize the flavors, so you're kind of stuck with whatever comes with it, even if you don't like the flavors. The mussels appetizer was good. My friend ordered the Kale Caesar salad...but it came out with spinach instead, which was a little odd. We both got the short rib for our entree and honestly... neither of us liked it. The flavor was lacking The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Pricing fits for the type of restaurant, but based on the overall experience, it didn't feel worth the high bill this time around.

    Went to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was a nice vibe. I would consider it eclectic but…read morecasual in ambiance and the food was a different version of American brunch dishes you may be familiar with. Parking is limited, a few spaces behind the restaurant and a "hope and prayer" for street parking. I found parking behind the building thankfully. The food was divine. I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros and would totally recommend again. It's not the typical Huevos Rancheros, which is why I liked it. It's filling and I enjoyed the grilled chorizo. The fries in the apps were also delicious. My friends raved about their dishes: avocado toast and the Nate's Plate. I also had the matcha lemonade which was a perfect blend of both. The service was fantastic! Shout out to our server. I wish I remembered her name.

    I recently came to Willa's for lunch here is what I thought…read more Atmosphere: The place is quaintly and simply decorated with pops of color throughout the space. The space is big with lots of natural light coming in which I loved! Bathrooms: They have restrooms for men and women. The women's restroom had two stalls. The bathroom was pretty clean. I didn't like the coloring of the bathroom, it would make me crazy if I had to sit in there for a long period of time. Service: The minute we walked in, we weren't greeted by anyone and we just looked around because we'd never been here before. It took about a minute or two for someone to help us get a table. The rest of the service was good overall. Our food came out quick. I do wish the happy hour options were explained to us when we sat down, we had to ask our waiter to explain it to us. Food: I'd say overall their food is good, it's not the best I've had in Tampa. If you want to come for a decent brunch and drinks this is a good spot. We tried the 'potato latkes' as an appetizer which was really good. I had their 'Smashburger' for my entree which was good, but I've had better. I did like their fries. The drinks were the best part! I had their 'Pink Hugo' which was really good and my friend had their 'Green Machine' which was delicious. Overall the food was good, but nothing amazing to me. Maybe I didn't order the right thing. I'd be willing to come back and try their brunch options as that seems to be what people like the most. Overall, it's a good place to come for lunch with a friend. It wasn't super busy on a weekday, so you don't need a reservation. The prices are decent, but everything in Tampa is more pricey now. **Parking Tip: they have a VERY small parking lot for customers behind the building. There is a larger gravel parking lot behind the building where you have to PAY to park. It was around $6/2 hours, I'm not sure if it's more expensive at different times. Try to look for free street parking in the area if their free lot is full before going to the paid lot! Or if you can car pool with friends do that!
